Story
The crescent backrest
Stephen Burks, an American industrial designer, made the backrest and armrest of the Ray chair a single crescent. It is suspended on a shaped solid ash structure.
A transatlantic partnership
Burks considers design an expression of historic and cultural identity. With Roche Bobois he also created the Traveller collection, a pair of armchairs that symbolizes the transatlantic nature of the partnership.
